“As Chair of the Assembly Committee on People with Disabilities, I’m proud to highlight a meaningful step forward included in this year’s state budget: the expansion of New York’s Disability Employment Tax Credit.

The updated credit provides meaningful incentives for businesses that hire individuals with disabilities, helping to create more inclusive workplaces across our state. It supports employers who invest in a diverse workforce and recognize the value that people of all abilities bring to their teams.

This credit isn’t just about tax relief – it’s about expanding opportunity. Everyone deserves the opportunity to contribute, succeed, and be recognized for their abilities. This is how we build a stronger New York – one that includes everyone.”
